Firstly, secret questions should always have a customizable option. Secondly, if it's a way to bypass entering in your password, then it should be entirely optional. If you don't have it, then you can't bypass your password with it.
In the case of the Revenue Canada thing, it'd allow me to put in answers that are relevant to me, rather than saying what the name of my first pet dog was, or my sister's husband.
One bad thing about password questions is generally the person that wants access to your account is someone that knows you. So they could quite easily know your mother's maiden name, for example. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

Exactly, and this is more what I was talking about, ALDP.
I do think the security is excessive, but the more offensive problem (and what I was trying to EMPHASIZE) is that it's also deployed stupidly, in lieu of better and/or simpler ways. |

The only things that bother me are websites that automatically resize your browser window (Theldorrin showed me how to remove that annoyance forever so w/e) and Canadian government sites that have French instructions before English instructions. Yeah, I'm talking about you Service Canada!
But that's more of a societal thing so it's also a w/e.

| My biggest pet peeve is flash ads where a HUMAN VOICE SPEAKS TO YOU. It's creepy and wrong. And I don't want to join Adult Friend Finder, Amber. Quit asking! |

The language thing is stupid because your browser should be informing the server of what language you want in the headers. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

Any kind of ad with sound.
Ads that scroll down with you.
Any kind of lyrics website.

That's one of those annoying Javascript 'functionalities' that is a design flaw that shouldn't exist.
It's actually ridiculous what Javascript can do, sometimes. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

Lyrics websites are a nightmare. Sometimes I'll click through several pages of google results on the chance that I can find somebody's fan page for the band.
I'm in a murderous mindsate. |

They're a nightmare, but I bet they're extremely profitable to the owners.
Why yes, I DO want that ringtone sent to my cell. |

You can disable that.
Websites that use a background to show you an image so it's more involved to save it. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

| US sites constantly fucking me over for being in Iran. Paypal blocked my account, lots of download sites don't like me download files, and a lot of google services are banned for me. All due to US sanctions. |
